Buck Hall Recreation Area - South Carolina



Ah, Buck Hall Recreation Area, we will sorely miss you!  What an awesome place this was.  We were able to stay there 8 days before we had to leave to get some repairs done to our rig and begin our westward journey.

Buck Hall is a very small campground with about 20 widely spaced RV camping spaces and a few lovely tent sites.   One side of the campground is the Intracoastal Waterway and the rest is forest.  The trailhead of the Palmetto Trail begins here and we walked some of it through the thick pine forest. 
The Intracoastal Waterway is alive most days with fisherman enjoying the wonderful waters.  Buck Hall has a loading ramp and also a very nice fishing pier.

The cost was just $20 a day for RV Camping and since we are old, we got the Golden Pass discount and only paid $10.  It is the bargain of the century.  Our camp host suspects that all the government parks will increase their fees in order to continue to maintain them.

All of the sights have water and electric, a picnic table and a fire ring.  We enjoyed quite a few campfires even though it was very cold and windy while we were there.  There are public bathrooms with a primitive shower and also a pumpout station.  Every one of the sights are good, not a bad one to be had.  We moved after 6 days as we decided to extend for 2 days and the space we were in was already reserved for the weekend.  I loved both spaces.  One backed up to the forest and the other had a fantastic view of the water.

If you are ever in the Charleston area of South Carolina, you should stay a few days.  You won’t regret it!  (Unless the humidity and the bugs are out in force!)
